Day Sixty-Nine

Happy 6-0 Grandad!!!

Day Sixty Eight.

We celebrated with Aunt Robyn and Uncle Andrew last night at their engagement party. Ella stayed up way past her bedtime so she got to sleep in her party clothes.

Day Sixty Seven.

Ella is used to getting her photo taken. She has also learned that we enjoy when she smiles for the camera. On her way to that smile...she gives us a few more signature expressions. She keeps us smiling all the time!

Day Sixty Six

 

The little nose picker...

Day Sixty Five

Just...becuase...

Day Sixty-Four

We have never encouraged the kids to come into our bed at night, we always go to them when they wake up at night so that at least one of us gets some sleep on any given night. Our queen size bed starts to feel pretty small with more wiggly bodies in it and so we were surprised when we didn't notice a stealthy little three year old between us when we woke up a few weeks ago.
And again the next morning.
And the next...

The pitter patter of Jacob's little feet coming down the hall at 4am has now become a nightly occurrence. he brings his little blanket and his stuffy and quietly makes a little spot between us.

We would put an end to it....except how can we possibly, when he looks so positivly angelic!

Day Sixty-Three

Ella has finally mastered "The Step". She had a bruise that wouldn't heal on her forehead for almost a month because her method of getting off the step was to simply drop. She crashed onto the floor, shook herself off and kept going with barely a pause. FINALLY...she has put her arms out in front of her to stop her from going head first. She's a busy little girl!
